Had a little more time today to do a couple of bits. I removed the fog lights and arch liners to improve airflow to the brakes. They were a bit crap at Brands Hatch. Got lots of pad to use up before I buy better stuff though. Also lowered the front a bit more. What do you guys think of the...

Did my third track day at Brands on the 14th June. Shame there were no other clios there. This is my first track day in the phase 1 and it did pretty well. Will need to improve the brakes when they are worn out. Definitely going to make the fog lights into brake ducts. Here are the pics, hope...

Bonjour I have just replaced my seats and having trouble with the airbag lights. The previous owner had cut some of the connectors off and joined up the wires directly so I'm guess there was an issue with it before. I've put the resistors where I think they're supposed to go but I had a phase...

Hi guys, Just wanted to confirm if a boss from a phase 2 will fit a phase 1? Or are they different? Thanks Steve

Hi guys, hope you can help me. Just bought a phase 1 172 and only got one key in which the battery appears to be dead. I've ordered a new one on ebay. However when unlocking the door with the key it does not operate the central locking so it only opens the one door. Also when locking, so if I...

Well its been nearly 3 years since I last owned a clio and now I have gone and bought another. This is my third 172 but the first phase 1 :) Car was owned by a cliosport member in the past as it has the tax disk holder and rear sticker on it. Bought it as a track day project...

First person who wants it can have it :) http://www.cliosport.net/shop/product_info.php?products_id=124 If you're the first to reply then please PM me your address and I'll post it out to you. Thanks Steve

Tommorrow I am trading in my 172. Its been great fun to own but I must admit I have got fed up with it recently. Can't stand the stiff suspension anymore and its just time to get a bigger car. I don't suppose I will be coming on here anymore, so here is a bit of a history in pictures: My...

Hello guys...........having some trouble with my head unit. French electrics are just crap. Don't think the head unit is faulty as I tried another one and that didnt work either. Sometimes this one works, most of the time it doesnt. Anyway. Can anyone tell me what the wires marked GREEN are...

Selling a Tuner list on ebay. A guy has asked me if it will fit in his Megane Scenic 1998. The head unit is the same as the one in my 2003 clio. Soo.........will it work? Thanks Steve

Ok guys, having some trouble with my stereo. Its a 2003 172. Started off by being a bit intermittant. The stereo would just not work, but by this I mean no sound comes out but everything else is as normal. So you turn it on and off and eventually it works again. Kept doing that for a while...

Ok guys. Just what on earth is under the panel with the interior light on in a 2003 172??? Since I've had my car there is an electric buzzing sound coming from under that panel. It comes on when you turn the ignition on. It doesnt matter whether the engine is running or not. I can press the...

I have a tunerlist................and its dodgy. Its the 3rd head unit thats been in my car. First it started being intermittant. The sound would disappear but the head unit would be working fine in every other way, just no sound. So if you turn it on and off a few times it sometimes works...

Ran out of rear tyres on the turinis. Going standard for a while. Question is, can I be bothered to add the centre caps?

Well I have Turinis, Silvervisions, painted bullets and sportlines but I'm well happy with the result. Gave her a quick wash this morning and a 10 minute photo shoot up the road. Couple of things left to do which include a civic aerial and smoked repeaters. Think my exhaust is about to go...

Must be a few around? My 03 plate is just about to clock 26k. Not bad for its age. Who else has hardly any miles?

I'd like to get them done in pearl black with silver writing and I really can't be bothered to do them myself............. Anyone on here whos done a few sets fancy doing mine? How much? Thanks Steve

Well, I fit some sportlines. Just a phone pic for now. I will get back on here with some proper photos soon. As far as I'm concerned the car is now finished. The only idea I'm toying with is black bullets with silver writing. Just need to get her on some track days now Opinions welcome->

Hi guys. Bought an 03 172. Air con didn't work. So I had it re-gassed with my service and they said they detected no leaks and the system was almost empty so they charged me a fortune to fill it up. Air con worked again, great, but for some reason it didn't feel that impressive. Not sure if that...

Spent a few hours cleaning and protecting today. Here are the results: Bloody damaged a wheel already. Don't think I did this though, think it must have been the garage who did my service-> Nice and standard :) Hope you guys like it :) Final mod will...

Well today's job was getting my misanos in my new clio. Done the passenger side nice and easy in the morning, but a bit of work was needed on the drivers side. I'm 6'5 and I was never satisfied with how low they were, so as the subframe was bent anyway after my last clio being written off I got...

Hi guys, Some of you may have seen my recent thread about my car being written off. Well today I picked up its replacement :) Firstly here is the old beast from day 1 to finish: And here is the new beast: On the forecourt: Silvervisions in, smaller aerial, turinis on...

Last night coming home from work my car was hit by a massive daewoo 4x4. I'd say 100% write off, what do you think? Really annoyed. Neck is sore but not too bad. You can't see in the pictures but the bonnet is bent, grill and bumper damaged from the car infront i was pushed onto. Car...

Just a small selection of my pics. Had a hard time doing some of the panning shots. Couldn't get the car in the centre of the frame half the time! And a lot of them looked rubbish. Practice needed! Any of you guys down there today? Steve

These are my seats: I don't really want fixed buckets and sidemounts. So is there a way of making these lower? As far as I know they are just on the normal cobra subframes that come with the seat. Without me having to go to the trouble of taking a seat out to see if something custom can be...

Loving my new turinis! Will get some sportlines on in the next month or two and then I'll have finished with the modding. What do you guys think?

Just some crappy pics for now. Will get some decent ones when I've painted the centre caps and stuck em on. What do you guys think??? Sportlines will be the last mod I do in a couple of months. Steve

Hi guys. I know this has probably been done to death but I just want some reassurance before I buy. I want to lower the car slightly purely for looks. I do not want to ruin the ride quality or bodge the standard handling which I find is great. How much difference will I notice with sportlines? I...
